"I see most people are using active crossovers. Why isn't simple line level low pass and high pass filters a good idea?"

I may be nit picking here but "Line level" refers to the small
signal(s) between components before it's amplified by the power amp and sent to the speakers.

Active crossovers are considered line level components so my question to U is, are U refering to high level or speaker level crossovers in your question or R U refering to implementing a line level X-over before the power amp(s) using discreet components?

Cheers,
